Belgian Financial Sanctions,

The Russian Imperial Movement (RIM) is a nationalist group based in Russia that seeks to create a mono-ethnic state led by a Russian autocratic monarchy. The group is best known for having members and sympathizers linked to violent activity abroad and seeks to build ties to neo-Nazi organizations in Europe and the United States to offer them paramilitary training and bomb making instructions. In 2015, RIM co-founded the World National Conservative Movement (WNCM), a transnational movement ideologically aligned against the Western principles of ‘liberalism, multiculturalism and tolerance’ according to its own manifesto. RIM leaders intended the WNCM to facilitate the sharing of tactical skills across peer organizations and promote their own paramilitary training program. Furthermore, RIM has donated money to foreign neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups associated with the WNCM and provided training to members who have carried out bomb plots in their own countries. In 2016, RIM provided training to two Swedes who then bombed a bookstore-café, a refugee shelter, and a campground that housed asylum seekers. RIM’s paramilitary faction has also been present in conflicts in Ukraine, Syria, and Libya.

Le Mouvement impérial russe est un groupe suprémaciste blanc fondé par Stanislav Vorobyov en 2002. Ce groupe promeut le nationalisme ethnique russe et cherche à attiser l’extrémisme suprémaciste blanc en Occident. Il propose des formations paramilitaires aux ressortissants russes et aux membres d’organisations partageant les mêmes idées dans d’autres pays. Sa branche armée, la Légion impériale, combat activement pour le compte des forces armées russes dans la guerre menée par la Russie contre l’Ukraine. Sur sa page internet officielle, le Mouvement indique que l’une de ses principales missions consiste à "combattre en Ukraine contre les uniates et les païens, qui forment l’épine dorsale des forces armées ukrainiennes". Par conséquent, le Mouvement impérial russe apporte un soutien matériel à des actions qui compromettent ou menacent l’intégrité territoriale, la souveraineté et l’indépendance de l’Ukraine.
